Stand-in skipper Wiaan Mulder’s monumental 367 proved to be the point of difference as Zimbabwe were handed a massive an innings and 236 runs defeat by world champions South Africa in the second Test to sweep the series 2-0 at Queen’s Club in Bulawayo on Tuesday.
Zimbabwe began Day 3 at 51 for 1 in 16 overs, still trailing by 405 runs. Takudzwanashe Kaitano (40) was the first to depart with debutant Senuran Muthusamy continuing his brilliant start, after picking four wickets in the first innings, to dismiss the opener.
Wiaan Mulder could do no wrong as he bowled over veteran batter Sean Williams (11). Skipper Craig Ervine (49) showed resistance in what can only be described as a lost cause. Muthusamy ended the 49-run stand, with Mulder taking the catch at slips, as he dismissed Nick Welch (55).
